Quark in Body Parts being like "That's who I am. That's what I do. I'm a businessman. And more than that, I'm a Ferengi businessman. Do you know what that means? It means that I'm not exploiting and cheating people at random. I'm doing it according to a specific set of rules. The Rules of Acquisition. And I won't disregard them when I find them inconvenient."
That integrity is v fun. V fae of him.
for those who aren't star trek fans, it feels kinda important to clarify that the Thing he's referring to here - as in, the thing he feels he's obligated to do under the code of Being a Ferengi Businessman and following the Rules of Acquisition correctly - is dying (whether by his own hand or by some other means) so his body could be taken apart and each piece could be vacuum-desiccated and sold to other Ferengi (this being standard funerary procedure in their culture when death has occurred).
(The reason Quark feels obligated to die here is because another Ferengi bribed his doctor to tell him he had an incurable terminal illness, so he already sold his vacuum-desiccated body parts, to be delivered after his death. And there was a buyer (who turned out to be the same as the briber). So once Quark learns he doesn't actually have said terminal illness, he feels like he still has to stick to the contract he had signed, as the buyer won't accept anything other than, in his words, "52 discs of vacuum-desiccated Quark". This whole thing was a plot by this other Ferengi to kill Quark [or force him to break a contract, ending his ability to practice business with any other Ferengi - essentially ruining him], but it's all legal in the Ferengi business/cultural/legal system. Indeed, very fae-like now that I think about it.)
